One week of new life

So it's been one week since I started my "new life"!  Today's Sunday, and tomorrow starts a new week of Bible college.

It's been actually really really good.  The teacher's been great.  I love being back in class-room learning style rather than lectures.  And so far I've been able to pick up Koine Greek pretty well.  I don't like rote learning, but I find that I'm pretty good at it.  I just keep rewritting it till it sticks in my head haha.

The first day was a killer, but after that it's actually been pretty cruisy.  It's actually not as hard/intensed as I thought it would be.  However I still have to spend every afternoon studying.  After class finish around 1pm I would study till around 4pm then go home.  Still a lot better than working haha.

I've confirmed that study life is way way way way better than work life.  I always tell my friends who are in uni that working full-time sux, but now I've confirmed it.  It's so flexible and good.  Even if I stay around and study, I still get home around 4:30pm, in easy traffic.  Ridley's only around 30 mins from my house (tho now that school's started it'll probably be around 35-40mins).  Much better than the 50mins I take to go to Carlton (even tho Carlton's only like 2 km further, the traffic really banks up near my work!).   I love starting at 9:30am, although once normal uni starts I think I start 9am for most classes.  I find that I can concentrate for quite long, compared to back in my uni days.  I guess working full-time really does build up ur concentration.  Also I have so much motivation to study!!  I hope the other subjects are just as good and interesting!

Praise God, this place is great.  Although near the end of the week I was started to get a bit tired of constantly studying...hopefully the weekend's refreshed me and I can start again.  Supposedly it'll be similar work-load in 2nd week, but get super intensed in the final week.

We have our young adults retreat this Friday....guess I'll just bring all my work and study there hahahaha!

So far everything's been great...except I have no job so have no income.  Also been playing pool a lot...and people don't seem to pay or just pay very little...and thus I've been paying for the bulk of pool.  Like in the last 3 days I've spent almost $50 on pool...... yeah I've gotta start cutting down.  That's a lot of spending even IF I was working.  But since I'm not I need to really cut back.

No plans to see anyone this week, so should be ok (last week I have plans to meet up with ppl on Wed/Thurs/Fri, but Thurs one person canceled on me so ended up being out on Wed/Fri).  Study study study.  

Though I still want to hang out with people.......always need friends......

Sigh...friends....friendship.....hmmmm...
